Jeffrey,
Following a hunch that Antigone or Iphigenia in Aulis would be a likely
place to find such a construction I did a little digging with the
limited resources at my disposal. I didn't find anything (yet) in
Antigone or Iphigenia in Aulis but found one promsing lead which is the
compound hUPERQNHiSKW (LSJ p.1846). This compound is used by Euripides
in several texts including Alcestis 155, 682 and Ph. 998 (see LSJ
p.1846).
I would expect that we might find something like this idea expressed in
Iphigenia's speech after she discovers that she is to be sacrificed but
not having a concordance of Euripides handy or even a hard copy of the
greek text or even an english translation it is not easy for me find out
since my patience is too short to work with Perseus.
I would suspect that either Edward Hobbes or Carl could answer a
question like this from memory, without having to crack a book or slog
through the Perseus web site.
